Maple Ridge hosts world-class showjumping challenge

During the weekend of 30 June and 1 July Muldersdrift’s own Maple Ridge Equestrian Farm hosted the FEI World Jumping Challenge.

This showjumping competition for amateur riders presented competitors with the opportunity to compete against international riders on South African soil.

For this challenge the jumping course was laid out exactly the same – to the last centimetre – as the ones all the participants have become used to in their own countries, thereby ensuring that all riders compete on an equal platform.

Here are the winners of the Maple Ridge FEI challenge:

Bronze Tour Leg 1 and 2 winners:

First place: Callaho Larike and Rechelle Kloeck

Second place: Brandenburg Crimson Tide with Maple Ridge’s very own Liezl Cloete

Silver Tour Leg 1:

First place: Data Sciences Southern Comfort with Jason Slade

Second place: Whirlwind with Charley Crockart

Silver Tour Leg 2:

Second place: Callaho Faith with Thomas Triggol

Second place: Locarno Cosmopolitan with Hailey Strydom

The winners of the ‘Series of Legs’ with the most accumulated points will represent South Africa in 2019, where all the winners from all the countries will compete in the final event on borrowed horses.
